I'm looking for an app recomendation, for either android (prefered) or apple.

What I want to do:

. pinpoint where I am on a map . not be reliant on phone coverage. be overlaid with UTM co-ords . be able to switch between a satellite image and a topo map. work on opening, easy and intuitive to use.

Lamont,I downloaded the paid version of Handygps.The map options there do not seem to allow me to access topo maps with tracks for the national parks.Do you know how this can be accessed on this app?I do not expect to use this application for navigation on a regular basis but there have been times where I have gone off track and would have appreciated knowing where I was on my phone while offline.I have a Garmin gps for times where I have set up a track to follow etc, but I do not want to carry that regularly, but I always have me phone with me, even if turned off.

G'day Suresh, I suggest you contact the designer. I have seen some "tile" tutorials, his site is www.binaryearth.I played with the paid version $2.49 when I got it-for a while and found the features great, then my phone crashed and died and I couldn't get back in. So I went with OSMandroid free version and paid for the topo maps-only a couple of dollars on my new S7. Really sorry I can't help. Might not help, but the OSM for what I want to do is really excellent.Load a whole state map once, no tiles, and off you go. Buy the "topo and land shadows" and they overlay really clearly.All by sats, GLONASS -no towers required and very accurate,stood by landmarks on maps and the OSM via stas is sopt on! phone in airplane mode uses next to no power.Should there be chance, download the free OSM and have a play, costs nothing to try, and it will leave the Garmin in the shade, such is the detail.
